Why Choose the ABB F202 B-16/0.3 RCCB?
The ABB F202 B-16/0.3 is a high-performance 2-pole Type B residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) designed to provide dependable residual current protection in electrical installations containing modern power-electronic equipment. As part of the established ABB F200 RCCB series, it is suited to applications where residual currents may include AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC components.
The Type B characteristic extends residual current detection beyond conventional Type A protection, making the F202 B-16/0.3 suitable for circuits containing equipment capable of producing smooth DC residual currents. Its 300 mA rated residual operating current makes it suitable for earth leakage and installation protection applications where Type B detection is required.
With a 16 A rated current and 2-pole configuration, the F202 B-16/0.3 provides residual current protection for specialised single-phase electrical circuits. Its modular DIN-rail construction supports straightforward integration into commercial and industrial electrical distribution boards.
Key Advantages
- Type B residual current protection for a broad range of AC and DC residual current waveforms.
- Detects smooth DC residual currents in addition to residual currents covered by Type A devices.
- 300 mA rated residual current for earth leakage and installation protection applications.
- 16 A rated current for electrical circuits and equipment.
- 2-pole configuration suitable for single-phase applications.
- Compact DIN-rail mounting for modular distribution boards.

Type B Residual Current Protection
RCCBs monitor the balance of current flowing through the active conductors of an electrical circuit and disconnect the supply when residual current to earth exceeds the device operating threshold. Type B RCCBs provide extended detection capabilities for installations where power-electronic equipment can produce residual current waveforms that conventional Type AC or Type A devices are not designed to detect.
The ABB F202 B-16/0.3 can respond to sinusoidal AC, pulsating DC and smooth DC residual currents, making it suitable for specialised applications incorporating electronic converters and other equipment capable of generating DC earth leakage. Its 300 mA sensitivity is intended for earth leakage and installation protection rather than the 30 mA additional protection commonly used for protection against electric shock.
Typical Applications
- Commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems.
- Circuits containing power-electronic equipment.
- Variable-speed drive and frequency-converter applications where Type B protection is required.
- Equipment capable of producing smooth DC residual currents.
- Circuits requiring 300 mA Type B residual current protection.
- Specialised single-phase electrical installations requiring AC and DC residual current detection.
